 association with Resident Artist programs the Hybrid Project and Campo 
 Santo, proudly announces the World Premiere Production of Angry Black White 
 Boy, Dan Wolf's play adaptation of Adam Mansbach's provocative novel of the 
 same name, an outrageous and deft satire about race, whiteness and Hip Hop 
 pop-culture, identity and violence in the twenty-first century. This 
 innovative re-mix of Mansbach's novel with performances that combine 
 hybrids of theatrical storytelling, poetry, rapping, beatboxing, ballet and 
 hip-hop dance is directed by Campo Santo's Sean San Jose.\n\nAngry Black 
 White Boy features Dan Wolf as the title character along with 
 actor/soundscape musician Tommy Shepherd, and actors and choreographers 
 Keith Pinto and Duncan Cooper. This is a collaboration that wrestles head 
 on with the messy issues of identity and race with all the fight and flavor 
 of a Hip Hop battle.\n\n"With this brutal, hilarious, and tragic novel, 
 Adam Mansbach proves once again he is one of the most insightful, and 
 daring writers of our generation." - Noted Hip Hop journalist and author, 
 Jeff Chang (Can't Stop Won't Stop)\n\nAngry Black White Boy is based on 
 Adam Mansbach's ruthlessly funny and scathing satire about the complexities 
 of race and identity in America. Told through the eyes of Macon, a young, 
 white man obsessed with righting the wrongs that have been levied against 
 Black people throughout history, this vigilante story delves into his 
 conflicted mind, psyche and guilt. The play explodes through Macon - a 
 young man burdened by this nation's past and white privilege - as he 
 studiously and compulsively sets out to rob his white taxi passengers in an 
 attempt to somehow balance the scales. However, his robberies go tragically 
 - and comically - haywire, pushing him to the forefront of a national 
 debate. This theatrical 're-mix' for the stage incorporates text adapted 
 and melded with original source material, freestyle and verse rap, live Hip 
 Hop music, ballet and Hip Hop dance. Created with a hybridized style and 
 approach, Angry Black White Boy combines theatrical storytelling with 
 powerful, innovative and contemporary Hip Hop styles. The story of Macon, 
 his conflicted mind and how he escapes or embraces his identity, is part of 
 the complex journey - part satire, part scathing expose on contemporary 
 American culture. This exciting new project from Intersection's Hybrid 
 Project is a mixture of history, mystery, music and theatrical mythmaking. 
 By accessing and embracing Hip Hop elements and forms - verse, rap, dance, 
 beatboxing and music - Angry Black White Boy will offer new inroads into 
 expressing and exposing issues of propriety and legacy. The production 
 unites Dan Wolf with his Felonious band-mate, Tommy Shepherd, as they 
 purposefully explore and expand the boundaries of theatre and storytelling, 
 crossing cultural, aesthetic and social borders by by merging growing Hip 
 Hop styles and techniques in order to forge new performance language and 
 styles. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/10/30/18547472.php
